It’s not quite River City Ransom, and it hardly has the cache of Edward Furlong’s Academy-Award-not-even-remotely-being-nominated-for performance in Detroit Rock City, but some terrifying and eye-catching hybrid of the two is taking place tonight. On skates. And ice.

And you can bet your ass the Justice League™ will be paying close attention, watching for facial ticks and heated exchanges of words as MacT continues to grey at an alarming rate, and Dustin Penner sits comfortably in the press box. Meanwhile, the entire ‘Sphere speculates on both of those guys’ futures with the club (check Lowetide, Covered in Oil and BDHS for some good comments on those issues).

Bingofuel is the handsome cyborg who pulls all the levers behind the curtains of the OilersNation. When he isn't running the site, he's plugged into a wall socket, recharging. Or Brownlee and Wanye are playing "keep away" with him. He gets little to no respect.

Hey Mike Brophy, do you really think the three goalie situation is the main reason the Oilers are losing? All three of them have played pretty well. And that doesn't explain why we can't score/hit/skate/come to the rink remembering we are there to play hockey.
It is an issue, but we have bigger things on our hands than having three goalies playing good hockey.

What did you expect? Its the Detroit Red Wings. Well seasoned, world class Stanley Cup winners with maybe a new guy or so at best. Men against boys here. My guess is that they make most teams look like crap.

Only question pre-game tonight was how many they were going to beat us by. The upside is that we'll have lots of instructional video footage for the rest of the season, because we were schooled big-time.

Jerry Mac, good question. Everyone likes to focus on this three goalie crap, or Penner being fat and lazy, but they never credit any of our downfalls to coaching or management. How many piss poor first periods do we need to have for them to bring up the fact that something behind the scenes isn't working.

Joey Moss you are bang on!!! Lowe has proven to be very indecisive most times and when he does make a decision it almost always seems to be the wrong one. I think MacT's frustration with Lowe's moves is coming to a head. MacT went way overboard on Penner making him virtually worthless if there were to be an attempt to deal him. The pompous ass that Brian Burke is doesn't preclude the fact that he is looking better every day in his assessment of Lowe!!!
Mr. Katz you bought a house that needed some upgrading and remodeling. A coat of paint ("promotion" of Lowe) and a some new carpets (Tambellini) isn't your style. This place is rotting from the inside out... get out the heavy equipment and get to work sir!!!
